Effective price ≈ €100,000 + €200/m²×166m² = €133,200 → ≈€802/m², well above the regional median of €290/m², so this is overpriced. The text calls the house "ristrutturata" while condition is listed as Habitable, a contradiction that lowers confidence.
More on the house and the area
A solid stone farmhouse with original features (fireplace, exposed beams, cellar) in a high-valley village — it's genuinely habitable but very dated and dim in the photos. With cosmetic renovation, better lighting and kitchen/bath updates this becomes a very appealing, reasonably priced family home with a small private garden and authentic character.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€11,000 – €18,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Photos are dark and show dated/poor lighting — interiors will need brightening and cleaning.
- Kitchen and bathroom are old and need updating for modern living.
- Located on a narrow village road so parking may be limited despite a small private garden (50 m²).
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 68/100The Ligurian Apennines surround this area, with the upper Val Nure cut by the Nure river and side valleys running into wooded ridges and pasture. The nearest ski area is Prato Spilla in the Parma Apennines, roughly 1 hour 30 minutes by road, so skiing is not a local landscape feature. The nearest town of some size is Piacenza, which provides the main rail links, services and urban amenities. This part of the Piacentine Apennines is known for mountain villages, chestnut woods, pastures and mushroom foraging, and for the high meadows and ridgelines around Passo del Mercatello and Monte Ragola.
